US EditionMinnesota Sanctuary Takes in Orphaned Lion Cub
PINE COUNTY, MINNESOTA, JUL 24 – The Wildcat Sanctuary led an 8-month rescue operation to save seven neglected lions from a Canadian roadside zoo, providing care at an accredited sanctuary in Minnesota.
- On July 24, 2025, The Wildcat Sanctuary led an international rescue of seven African lions, including the orphaned cub Mango from a roadside zoo in Canada.

- The sanctuary is asking for public support, encouraging followers online at WildcatSanctuary.org and social media, while providing residents with natural, spacious habitats to live wild at heart.
- As unethical breeding inflicts lifelong harm, TWS’s model positions the sanctuary to inspire broader efforts to end the captive wildlife crisis, highlighting the lifelong effects of unethical breeding.
